Witnesses said the group of boys caught up to the victim near the third-floor auditorium, where the beating continued.

Ironically, the fights occurred at the height of a special security sweep at Kennedy where students were checked by metal detectors and detained in the school gym for two hours or more, Wojciechowski reported.

"We have no evidence at this time of anything else being done, feces thrown around or as a weapon, or anything like that at all," said Andres Durbak of Chicago Public Schools.

Some students said the close confinement of so many students exacerbated the already-strained relations between longtime Kennedy kids and newcomers brought in when school boundaries were changed.

School officials insist the problems there aren't worse than any other school. Нисколечко не сомневаюсь!!!
